"I love the way a rustic, tweedy wool looks when worked in garter stitch," says designer Jared Flood. Inspired by a recent trip to Dublin, he designed this pullover to be both intuitive to work and easy to wear. With a rounded garter yoke and garter panels flanking the body on each side, the design brings geometry to the classic wool sweater. The original yarn called for in the pattern is no longer available. Suggested substitution: Classic Elite Renaissance (100% wool; 110 yd/50 g): 11 (12, 14, 16, 17) skeins. View color card.

A little bit of innovation

I loved this pattern straight away, especially the way the yoke was knitted, but as I am quite small and female, I didn't quite see this on me. So I made a cardigan instead, knitting in the smallest size, finishing off the front bands in garter stitch. I love it and have had many positive comments.
